Thanks for taking the time to write, Peter.

I doubt there would be any repercussions. The paper company(ies) own the
access road and use it for lumbering. Plus, access by the dam keeper is
necessary. However, opening the three condos on the point to the left of the
dam (facing down-river) would be the death of the river. Access to the point
would be by Black Cat Road (from South Arm near the camp ground). There is no
road now -- well, there is, but it only goes a short distance. Opening such a
road would mean cars being able to drive within sight of the dam.

Of all the places I can fish, this river means the most. I can go to Russia,
Alaska, Montana, Idaho, etc., anytime I want to, but it would never replace the
beauty and peace of this marvelous river.

If you have been to the Rapid, please take time to write to LURC showing your
displeasure with the re-zoning of this pristine and very special river.
